communicating with the ecu

[micra_pete]

Simplest way is you buy the equipment, rather than building it / writing own software, for most people what is already out there will be good enough, im going to recommend the PLMS consult cable available from PLMS Developments website, they are very good members of the nissan world and make a very nice product, i also recommend getting the nissan datascan software

This will enable you to see what the ecu is seeing, it will not let you "re-flash" the ecu.

I am currently making my own software and i will get something up soon

How much is this datascan software?

 

[James]

Comes with Consult connectors:
http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/consult_if.shtml
http://blazt.biz/
(if you choose their bundles that is)

Or on their website:

[micra_pete]

about £25 i think

Found the software, but can't find anywhere that stocks the Consult cable in the UK, any help?

P.S. the PLMS cable has a nasty box in the cable and does not work with every car as there design is about a year out of date. They also do not offer a USB version. Our cable works every time!!!

 

[micra_pete]

maybe, but pete is a good bloke, i have never had a single problem with the plms cable, and i have used it on a lot of cars

I'd also ask the forum mods before selling stuff.

Can you tell me what components are in this 'nasty box' you mention?

 

[micra_pete]

the blatz cable has a very small circuit board that fits in the cable, the plms one has a larger board in a box, its still only small.

blatz

plms

both are good products though

 

[K10Daz]

Was gonna invest in one of these a while back, now i just use the diagnostic stuff at work lol!

 

[Craig]

So is the Micra ECU totally non-flashable then Pete?

 

[Blazt]

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude, the plms product is a very good product, and not denying pete is a top bloke. But they are the rival company to ours, so naturally I think our product is better!!!!

:grinning:

And the ecu can not be re-mapped using just software alone, I have not looked into it much but I think a daughter board is needed with 2 chips in the Odd/Even format on it.

 

[m-hayes]

micra_pete is your man on what you can do with Micra ecu's. As far as I can tell he is the expert on Micra ecu's anywhere in the world (except the deepest darkest depths of Nissan).

 

[Raceworx]

the ECU canot be re=programed through the diagnostic port as far as im aware pete places a new daughter board into the ECU which houses to Eprom chips that can then be written to.. he carnt do the NATS ones yet though

 

[micra_pete]

thanks mike

ian, i almost have the new nats ecu's sorted, im having the boards made up again

 

[Raceworx]

ooo nice to hear let me know how it goes have you got some ECU's to mess with?

 

[Alienfish360]

I still have my NATS CG10 ECU will make sure I get it out later dude, I totally forgot before!

 

[K11SS]

i also got a ga 16 if u want it i dont need it so its there if u want it ?

cheers

[micra_pete]

im always happy to get ecus, send me a pm and we will sort something out.

Andy_S - my advice would be get the e-manage fitted, remapping the ecu is not a common thing over here, speak to ed
